City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes October 22,2014 4. Request from Mr. & Mrs. Robert Chiodin for Additional Street Light—(Old Mill Road) 7383 Old Mill Road Administrator Larson stated that the City has had similar requests in the past. Mayor Wilharber also stated that there are areas in the City that appear to be dark due to areas being undeveloped similar to this location and that generally street lighting requirements are placed on the developer through a developer agreement and this area will receive additional lighting when two (2) neighboring 10 acre parcels develop. Council Member Fehrenbacher questioned the installation of lighting, the cost of maintaining and monthly electrical costs. Administrator Larson stated that it would cost roughly$13 - $15 per month for operation and that includes installation. Council discussed the need for surveying the community for dark/unlit areas where lights may be needed for public safety (LaMotte Drive, Old Mill Road, etc.), costs of new lighting and budget constraints. Council Member Fehrenbacher requested that Staff assess dark/unlit areas along sidewalks, pathways, long stretches to ascertain the length of the areas that would benefit from lighting and forward the information back to Council for further consideration and a policy. Motion by Council Member King, seconded by Council Member Fehrenbacher to Direct Staff to assess dark/unlit areas within the City where lighting would benefit the safety and wellbeing of the community (long stretches of darkness), measurements and sidewalk/pathways and prioritize the areas. Discussion ensued regarding the amount of time that would be consumed to fulfill the request and concern for measuring the areas. Consensus of Council was that it was needed to obtain an assessment of the areas but it would only be areas that appeared to be insufficiently lit/long stretches of darkness. All in favor. Motion passed. 5. Res. #14-033 — Appointing Two (2) Additional Election Judges for the Upcoming General Election (November 4, 2014) Motion by Council Member King, seconded by Council Member Fehrenbacher to approve Res. #14-033 — Appointing Two (2) Additional Election Judges for the Upcoming General Election (November 4, 2014) as presented. All in favor. Motion passed. 6. Amendment to Phased Retirement Agreement Administrator Larson stated that with the slight delay of the new City Administrator's start date he has incurred additional hours and as to not present a problem with the auditors an amendment would be appropriate. Administrator Larson stated that language in #2 had been modified from "These converted hours may be accrued over and above the year-end maximum PTO carryover" Page 4 of 6 32
